“…Pain levels recorded in lSFE group are consistent with those reported at 7 and 14 days postsurgery in the randomized trial by Baldini et al. (), where similar dimensions of the antrostomy (8 × 10 mm) were adopted in one study arm, and those reported during the first week postsurgery in another randomized trial (Temmerman et al., ). Also, consistently with the study by Temmerman et al.…”

AimTo comparatively evaluate the morbidity following maxillary sinus floor elevation according to either transcrestal (tSFE) or lateral (lSFE) approach with concomitant implant placement.Materials & MethodsPatients with ≥1 edentulous maxillary posterior site with residual bone height (RBH) of 3–6 mm were enrolled. tSFE was performed in association with a xenograft and a collagen matrix. For lSFE, the sinus was grafted with the xenograft, and the antrostomy was covered with a membrane. Implants were inserted concomitantly. The postoperative course was assessed through questionnaires. Pain level (VAS pain) was recorded using a 100‐mm visual analogue scale.ResultsTwenty‐nine and 28 patients were included in tSFE and lSFE group, respectively. On the day of surgery, VAS pain was significantly higher for tSFE compared to lSFE, and similar from day 1 to 14. tSFE was characterized by significantly lower incidence of swelling, bruising and nasal discharge/bleeding. Significantly less severe limitation in swallowing, continuing daily activities, eating, speaking, opening the mouth and going to school/work was found for tSFE only at specific postsurgery intervals.Conclusions lSFE was associated with lower pain on the day of surgery, and tSFE revealed lower postoperative morbidity as well as more tolerable postoperative course.

“…In the present study, the total gain in height after 9 months was 7.7 mm for group A and 9.4 mm for group B. This outcome is in agreement with the outcomes of another randomized clinical study (8.5‐8.7 mm), in which the antrostomy was prepared with two different dimensions …”

“…To the authors' knowledge, no systematic investigation of the effect of the window design, size, and position on complication rates or effort required to carry out sinus lift surgeries has been carried out.

Sinus augmentation is a well-known approach to treating alveolar bone ridge atrophy in the posterior maxilla. The preparation of the lateral window is crucial. Its size, design, and position in the vestibular sinus wall may affect the intra- and postsurgical complication rates and affect the intrasurgical activity of both surgeons and assistants. The present paper describes a rational technique that also exploits the guided surgery approach for design and preparation of a lateral window for sinus augmentation, the Low Window Sinus Lift. To illustrate the use of this approach, a case is presented in which the 50-year-old patient had the left maxillary first molar extracted, followed two months later by sinus augmentation and placement of three implants. One year after delivery of the definitive prosthesis, all three implants were successful, and the prosthesis was fully functional. Controlled studies should be undertaken to assess whether this technique provides significant advantages compared to other sinus augmentation approaches.

Lateral approach for sinus floor elevation: large versus small bone window – a split‐mouth randomized clinical trial

Abstract: A reduction of window dimensions did not affect the safety of the surgical procedure. The two testing techniques showed no statistically significant differences in surgical intervention duration. Patients' opinion at 7-day and 14-day post-op showed a preference for test procedure.
